About CIVIC Voice AU

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead Hello, I'm Eric Handbury, a typical citizen/father of 2 from a small suburb an hour north of Sydney, AU. Since hearing about Colorado's (CDI - Citizen Directed Initiatives) system in 2012, I have believed this is necessary for a functioning democracy, especially when becoming disillusioned by governments consistent failing to tackle the issues that matter to me. Beyond our 3 second moment of democracy in the voting booth every 3 years, the political arena provides no formal process which we, the people, can use to take the issues they hold dear, garner support from others, and ask voters to change society along with them. This cannot be the case within our democratic society. A system that represents the people must give us the tools to shape our future. 24 US States currently have such mechanisms in place. These initiatives do not alter our representative democracy; they enhance it - engaging citizens, empowering us, and encouraging us to act for the public good. CIVIC brings to us a defined step-by-step path for change. CIVIC can be the engine that drives this necessary change for Citizen Directed Initiatives. The first step is to make the CIVIC laws within NSW. I am the first CIVIC initiative. Please join me on this journey. Together we can create a better, more responsive democracy.
